lighttpd is a great web server. I just didn't want to bother download the 
source,
configure, make and make install, and have a bunch of files installed into 
the system
(The binaries are mostly not the latest version.)  If a server can be set up 
with a few
python files, it sounds like a cleaner approach :)

lighttpd does have an option to make a monilithic build that has everything 
in
one file but somehow I couldn't make the scons-based build work. (Any tips?)
